The following is a transcription of a photostat copy of a duodecimo travel journal kept by Sheldon Leavitt (1818-1875, Yale 1837). Leavitt was my great-great grandfather. The photocopied journal is 8 1/2" x 6 3/4" and 87 pp. long, with 2 diary pages per sheet. I think it will be interesting to family members in particular.
